Hacking Hacking Process

I will help out wherever possible

I would go with IOS35. It should work and as a side effect this will repair some failed mod attempts.

As a side note, IOS35 is the current support IOS for my installation of HomeBrew Channel. Is IOS35 then sufficient for both running the HackMii installer and supporting the subsequent HomeBrew Channel Installation? Since it is common to use IOS36 in order to install IOS35, it would seem the Korean Wii user would then be set for HackMii with IOS35 and IOS36 in place.

Thank you for your help.

Eh what? When installing original IOS with WAD Manager, the IOS you use does not matter. What's the difference between running the hackmii installer and HBC installation?

It is also possible to install the original IOS with dop-IOS MOD. In either case, an IOS with NAND permissions is needed to perform the installation. So, an exploited IOS36 is often used (put into place with a downgraded IOS15). I know you're aware, just keeping us eye-to-eye.

With that IOS36 (which is dirty in the eyes of the HackMii installer), we then install a clean IOS35. That IOS35 can then serve as both the launch point for the HackMii installer and later the support IOS for the HomeBrew Channel. This should be sufficient, I only wish to confirm.

The HackMii installer is running from the SD card utilizing IOS35. It installs the HomeBrew Channel (JODI these days). Later, when you launch JODI, IOS35 is again utilized as a support IOS. The only difference being the utilization. I am not fully aware of what HackMii does to IOS35, but can only assume that it's modifications are compatible with the requirements of the HomeBrew Channel. Yes?

Sorry for being long-winded, it's only to make it easier to make everything clear and simple later.

It only picked IOS35 because there was no IOS36

it has to be installed when there is a valid IOS36 so hbc can run using and untouched IOS61

Which, turns out, is completely unnecessary. As WiiPower said, running with IOS35 support can be a good idea.

The hackmii installer neither patches IOS nor uses/works on patched IOS. Installing a clean IOS35 will provide you with at least one IOS the hackmii installer likes, and also will fix broken IOS35 from previous failed modding attemps when following an outdated guide. The whole IOS36 patching is only required for apps that tell they need it.

IOS36 is, unfortunately, a requirement at the moment for getting a clean IOS35 onto a Korean or a poorly modded Wii system. Is that not so?

This depends on if WAD Manager boots without IOS36 installed. It should, and if it does, you do not need any special IOS to install any (clean) IOS.

Ah, so the better legal directions would be to have the user obtain IOS35 via NUS, install with WAD Manager (assuming it boots and runs without needing an exploited IOS), et voila.
